At this point, whether Ghost Daoist believed in the Lord of Thousand Sun City or not, the method had to be tried.
He was skilled at controlling puppets, and since the power he cultivated was different, he didn't actually have any more powerful magic weapons.
Actually, it's also the Ghost Daoist's fault for being too confident in his own formations and puppets, while underestimating her, who was at the Golden Core stage.
They believed that on their home turf, a Golden Core cultivator could not possibly cause any trouble.
Otherwise, even if Liu Yunqing had the space at his disposal, and his own fire spirit root was the nemesis of these evil spirits, he wouldn't have been able to succeed so easily.
But it's too late to say anything now. The Ghostly Taoist frowned and sighed, then took out a Soul Banner and said to the Lord of Thousand Sun City:
"That little thief is cunning; it will probably take the two of us working together to capture him."
At this moment, the two temporarily put aside all their grudges, because if those kids escaped, they would probably face the pursuit of several major sects.
After a brief discussion, the two clearly divided their tasks: Ghost Taoist would guard the exit of the formation, while the Lord of Thousand Sun City would stand at the other end of the formation.
The Lord of Qianyang City flipped his hand and held it up into the air, whereupon a diamond-shaped mirror covered in patina appeared out of thin air.
The Lord of Qianyang City chanted an incantation, enlarged the rhombus-shaped mirror with one hand, and then tossed it into the air, its surface reflecting the ground.
The magnified diamond-shaped mirror, the instant it reflects the ground, shows a scene that bears no resemblance to the real scene.
All that could be seen in the mirror was a vast expanse of white mist, and as it moved slowly, wisps of different colors appeared.
Upon seeing the wisps of color, the Lord of Qianyang City was overjoyed. He quickly turned the mirror around and followed the wisps of color.
At this moment, Liu Yunzhao, who was hiding in the space, changed his expression and couldn't help but transmit his voice to Liu Yunqing:
"This mirror can reflect everything that contains spiritual energy, and I can't escape it. What about you?"
Isn't Liu Yunzhao's statement obvious?
No matter how sophisticated Liu Yunqing's space is, it is still an object imbued with spirit.
Or, to put it another way, the higher the spatial level, the richer the spiritual energy.
This is different from the spiritual energy that cultivators can detect fluctuations in. That requires fluctuations to be detected. If there are no fluctuations, it is just spatial spiritual energy that exists like air, which cultivators cannot detect.
This rhombus-shaped mirror can reflect not only the circulating spiritual energy, but also everything that contains spiritual energy, and Liu Yunqing is naturally no exception.
What if you can't avoid it?
What else can we do but grit our teeth and go for it?
Liu Yunqing's mind raced as she watched the diamond-shaped mirror get closer and closer to the two of them, dodging it while trying to come up with a plan.
"Let's split up and hide!"
Liu Yunzhao didn't really want to separate. She felt it was safer to stay with Zhenru, but she also knew that if they separated in this situation, one of them would get more time to catch their breath.
Seeing that Liu Yunzhao did not agree, Liu Yunqing thought for a moment and then transmitted his voice again:
"Someone is outside calling for reinforcements. If we hold on a little longer, maybe we can both be saved."
Upon hearing this good news, Liu Yunzhao felt relieved. After thinking about what he had, he realized that as long as there were reinforcements, he would be able to survive. He immediately agreed.
The two separated without leaving a trace, and the image on the mirror began to change.
The two originally dense streams of colorful spiritual energy suddenly split in two and began to fade, one becoming red and the other blue.
The Lord of Qianyang City frowned, knowing that it must be the hidden people who had split up to act, and couldn't help but sneer:
"Hmph! You think you can escape by splitting up? How naive!"
His Diamond Mirror is a treasure that even those who recognize a master cannot possess. How could a mere minor Golden Core possibly escape it? Absolutely not!
That's definitely impossible.
Soon, the area illuminated by the diamond-shaped mirror began to shrink, and the area where the two could hide also shrank smaller and smaller.
Just as the Lord of Qianyang City was activating the Diamond Mirror and getting closer and closer to the entrance of the formation, and a relaxed expression finally appeared on his face, he felt the image on the surface of the Diamond Mirror suddenly become chaotic, and then the two colorful spots in the mirror moved away again and faded.
The Lord of Qianyang City was taken aback, then activated the Mirror of Diamonds to turn around, and couldn't help but curse:
"You little brat! Let's see where you run now!"
With that, having confirmed that the direction was correct, he unleashed a full-force attack using his Nascent Soul cultivation.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"
"Fellow Daoist Ghost, what do you mean by this?!"
The Lord of Qianyang City never expected that it was Ghost Daoist who intercepted his attack, and he was furious.
If that palm strike had landed, that brat who dodged in that direction would have been smashed into a pile of mud!
The Ghost Taoist also looked displeased, frowning slightly in displeasure as he said:
"At the very least, leave me my physical body. If you strike me like that, all my hard work will have been for nothing."
The Lord of Qianyang City was furious and roared:
"What time is it? You're still thinking about your physical body! I'll kill them right now!"
As the Lord of Qianyang City spoke, he spun the rhombus-shaped mirror in his hand, which swept across a blue ball of light. He then struck it with his palm and threw the mirror towards the Ghost Taoist.
The rhombus-shaped mirror, of unknown origin, exerted considerable effort on the ghostly Taoist who was resisting it simply by virtue of its immense weight.
By the time he had freed his hands, the Thousand Sun City Lord's attack had already landed on the blue light ball.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"
An even louder collision of magical power rang out, blasting Liu Yunzhao out of the way and sending Ghost Daoist and the Lord of Thousand Sun City flying backward as well.
The Thousand Sun City Lord, who was directly confronting him, felt his chest heave and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Taking advantage of the moment when the two were distracted, Liu Yunqing, who had originally revealed his form, disappeared back into the space.
It wasn't that the aftershocks of the collision were so powerful that they could shake her out of the Golden Crow Space, but rather that the palm strike that the Thousand Sun City Lord had delivered to her earlier, although blocked by the Ghost Daoist, still partially hit her, causing her to already be injured.
"Cough cough cough—"
The force of the two attacks dissipated, revealing Liu Yunzhao lying on the ground coughing.
"Hahaha! You thought you were so good at dodging? Now let's see where you can hide!"
However, the Ghost Taoist, who was caught in the aftershocks of the attack, couldn't resist the greed in Liu Yunzhao's eyes and reached out to grab him.
"Don't come any closer!"
Liu Yunzhao suppressed a cough, let out a sharp shout, and simultaneously raised a jade tablet in his hand, saying to the two of them:
"My master is a Nascent Soul cultivator, and this jade tablet contains three of her strongest attacks!"
"If you don't want to die, let me go! Otherwise, I'll detonate this jade tablet, and we'll both perish!"
To be fair, although Liu Yunzhao's move was crude, it was indeed very effective, and the two of them were temporarily hesitant to move.
This not only worked on the two of them, but it also stirred up Liu Yunqing's thoughts, who was hiding in the shadows.
She doesn't have any offensive cheat devices, but by cooperating with Liu Yunzhao, she might be able to kill those two.
If it weren't for the Ghost Taoist bringing in the City Lord of Qianyang, even without Liu Yunzhao's jade token, the two of them could have tried to join forces.
Of course, this is on the premise that the Ghost Taoist doesn't have any hidden puppets.
Without further ado, Liu Yunqing pretended to be dead while telling Liu Yunzhao his idea. Before Liu Yunzhao could agree, the Ghost Taoist suddenly spoke:
"I can let you go, but the other person, and the person you two rescued, must stay!"
